معرفی
Anne Vrijling is an active researcher at the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG), University of Groningen, specializing in visual function assessment and rehabilitation engineering within the Department of Ophthalmology. Her work bridges ophthalmology, neurology, and rehabilitation science, focusing on visual impairments in neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease and glaucoma.
Her research interests center on functional impairment assessment, neurovisual rehabilitation, and reading difficulties across neurological disorders. Key areas include developing diagnostic tools for glaucomatous vision loss, creating vision-related quality-of-life metrics, and establishing stepped-care models for Parkinson's patients with reading complaints. Her fingerprint shows 100% activity in Parkinson's Disease, Dyslexia, and Rehabilitation Engineering, with strong connections to Functional Impairment and Visual Acuity research.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a clear trajectory from ophthalmological diagnostics (2025 glaucoma tracking study) toward integrated neurorehabilitation frameworks (2023-2024 Parkinson's care models). Her work consistently applies engineering approaches to visual assessment, with emerging emphasis on patient-reported outcomes and psychometric validation in vision research.
Vrijling actively contributes to open science through datasets like PROMISE (2023), which examines visual tracking performance across age groups. Her collaborations span multiple UMCG departments, particularly with Jansonius' ophthalmology group and Heutink's neurology team, reflecting interdisciplinary integration of vision science and neurological rehabilitation.
